Postcard from the Beach

Verse 1

I'm sitting in the rain, feeling all the pain

Why did I leave my comfortable chair?

I wanted to be free, across the deep blue sea

But now I've got sand in my underwear

I'm drinking cold coffee, feeling quite sorry

Wish I was back in the house that we share

Verse 2

I'm walking on the sand, with a map in my hand

But I'm lost and I don't have a clue

I miss your apple pie, and I won't tell a lie

Everything reminds me of you

I made a big mistake, and my heart is about to break

I'm a hungry man and I'm feeling blue

Chorus - Deep Crooner Voice

Mmm-hmmm baby, send a little signal and maybe

I'll find my way back to your door

I've learned my lesson now, and I really don't know how

I could ever want anything more

If you're feeling alone, just pick up the phone

Heaven knows I'm a fool on the shore

Verse 3

How are the kids today? Are they still okay?

Is little Peter still acting so wild?

Does Lucy still play in the garden all day?

I miss every laugh and every child

Now the dog is missing you, and the cat is lonely too

They're asking why Daddy is gone

The neighbor is annoying, my peace he's destroying

I should have stayed home all along

Chorus

Mmm-hmmm baby, send a little signal and maybe

I'll find my way back to your door

I've learned my lesson now, and I really don't know how

I could ever want anything more

If you're feeling alone, just pick up the phone

Heaven knows I'm a fool on the shore

Outro - Fading with "Mmm-hmmm" ad-libs

Mmm-hmmm... I'm coming home.

If the boat starts...

I'm definitely coming home.

Heaven knows I care.
